Server Maintenance - Saturday, February 20 | Forums

[Humbatiki]

Why do the servers of the Xbox One version need to go down for maintenance at 1am(pst) which happens to be during the time that I play video games? I usually only get to play video games during 11pm(pst) to 3am/4am(pst), so why can't the server maintenance be somewhat later like 3am(pst) or even 4am(pst).
This ruins the game and my gameplay experience when I really can't play the game during the only time that I can play any video games.
So please all I ask is if possible please have the server maintenance later than 1am(pst), even if you can't do this during the beta atleast do this when the full game is released. I beg of you please change this.

A bit egoistic I would say, they should change there maitenance schedule because of u, who can't play

You need to be more patience.

My only wonder is why they need to do server maintenance in the middle of a 2-3 day beta, haven't noticed many problems at all.
I'm just lolling at all the "If this is normal blah blah blah, I'm not paying for this yada yada" ffs it's the only OPEN BETA they've had...

The fact that they continuously need to do "server maintenance", that takes 3 hours, ultimately shows there is a serious problem with this game. It shows the back-end programming for this is not suitable and they are having to clean things up, every day! They only have 2 weeks to fix it, too. I have managed to play 54 minutes of the "single player" element before being kicked out. For me, this is not worth paying £40 for until there is no more "scheduled maintenance".

Really disappointed because I was enjoying the game, that I have been looking forward to, for a long time.

I will keep an eye on the forums, post release, to see if it does not have "scheduled maintenance" every day, before purchasing.

Well i got to play 8 hours of it yesterday...

It's a Beta. There will be all sorts of numbers and metrics to check around server load, crashes, bugs, etc. that have not occurred in Alpha and Closed Beta (the reason for the Open Beta after all...). Users will do things never imagined during development and initial software testing; more users, more exceptional events.

Rather than saying "Uh, we need to bring the servers down for ten minutes" then taking a few hours, they are setting realistic expectations for us about downtime. The primary beneficiary of any beta are the developers. We get to come and play for free and get marketed to.

TL,DR: Please leave your entitlement at the door, Beta is a software development thing

What are you talking about? This maintenance period doesn't start for another 4.5 hours. And are we going to be compensated for what? This is a FREE open beta, meant to test the game and hype up fans by offering them a chance to play a "sneak peek" pre-release version of the game. This open beta wasn't something that was promised or that anyone paid for.

I'm not trying to argue with you--just stating facts. Cheers!

Well said man

All good MMOs with good developers have min. 2 Servers and tey do the mainenance with 12 hours sparetime.
I can´t understand why the developers from division kill their business with such maintenance isues.
Bye a 2nd Server and all is fine!

What a bunch of entitled, confused individuals.

Compensated for this downtime? Are you high? It's an open beta. Server maintenance is to be expected. Hell, server maintenance is to be expected even on a fully released game.

Why would you expect to have a beta schedule tailored to you when you don't live in the primary time zone of the customer base? Out of the top 100 gaming countries in the world, the first 3 spend more money on games than the following 97 combined. If you don't live in Japan, China, or the United States, guess what - you're part of those 97.

The worst beta you've ever been in? You are delusional and clearly have not played many betas.

Ubisoft hates Australia? Makes sense. A developer/publisher hates an entire country. Totally legit.

The few replies to this thread encompass everything that is wrong with the gaming community. Someone said you can't have the toy you really want, and now you're throwing a fit in the middle of the store.

Some people will use any excuse just to whinge. It is down for 3 hours, of a 24 hour day, of a 3 day OPEN BETA. Some times I don't get to play when I want, due to to work or children or DIY but I certainly don't piss and moan about it.

Grow up. It's only a game, and quite a good one at that. Looking forward to 1300hrs so I can start slapping about these whining Kangaroos!!

If you think this is beta you are kidding yourself. This is demo at best. Pretty sure game is ready, given its release date is March . Only porpuse of this so called "beta" is free adversiting. And if their servers need 3 hours maintanance only after single day of being online, well, they really need to hire some database guys.
